CBS Films’ The DUFF is the story of that third wheel friend who’s a bit less hot and a bit more approachable than the rest of his/her group. In this case the DUFF is, Bianca (Mae Whitman), without whom, Bianca, Jess and Casey wouldn’t be Bianca, Jess and Casey.

Bianca is not the most popular girl in her class, but she has two really good friends and if she can’t bring herself to say more than three words in a row to her crush, well, she’s still got her friends. That is, until her neighbor, high school football star Wesley, informs her that she’s their DUFF – Designated Ugly Fat Friend.

Washington, DC had a little star power, as the Creative Coalition came for their annual dinner and to spend some quality time on Capital Hill. The evening was hosted by Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World), Drake Bell (Drake & Josh), Tim Daly (Private Practice), Omar Epps (“Resurrection”), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Mae Whitman (Parenthood) and others. We were there and went a little something like this….

Hollywood is comin’ to town to support the arts! The Creative Coalition and ‘Supper Suite by STK’ is set to dazzle DC with a Gala benefit dinner celebrating Arts in America and the launch of STK DC, a modern
steakhouse and chic lounge.
